'''About you'''
# What is your name?
# What is your email address?
# What is your Sugar Labs wiki username?
# What is your IRC nickname?
# What is your primary language? (We have mentors who speak multiple languages and can match you with one of them if you'd prefer.)
# Have you participated in an open-source project before? If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer?
'''About your project'''
# What is the name of your project?
# Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?
# What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.)
# Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.
'''You and the community'''
# If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 5-15 sentences in length. The first one should be yours. The second and third should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.
# Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?
# What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
'''Miscellaneous'''
# We want to make sure that you can set up a development environment before the summer starts. Please send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view (see [http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2361/2118896307_38bdb16f3e.jpg?v=0 image], the drop-down text should have your name in place of "Reboot." It's normal to need assistance with this, so please visit our IRC channel, #sugar on irc.freenode.net, and ask for help.
# What is your t-shirt size? (Yes, we know Google asks for this already; humor us.)
# Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
